Nancy McClendon

Nancy McClendon, 77, went home to her Savior on April 17. She died unexpectedly of a head injury sustained in a fall.

Nancy was born Nov. 21, 1936 in Harrisonburg, Va., as the third child of the Rev. and Mrs. Parks Wilson.

Nancy was a born-again Christian who partnered with Bill, her husband of 59 years to raise her four children to believe in Christ. She lived out her faith in a real and meaningful way.

Nancy was a charter member of the Coronado Baptist Church and leaves behind a wonderful church family. She was a devoted Mahjong enthusiast.

Other enjoyments included sipping Lattes with friends, reading, scrapbooking, eating out and sharing her enormous wisdom and insight with friends and family.

She loved people and they loved her. She will be remembered as a loving wife and a wonderful mother who invested time, energy and her resources in the lives of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Nancy will be welcomed into Heaven by the loved ones she lost during her lifetime. This includes her parents the Rev. Parks and Janet Wilson; her brother Parks Wilson Jr.; her sister Janet Hisey and her grandson Billy Simms.

In addition to her husband Bill McClendon, Nancy will be greatly missed by her four children and their spouses; Debra Simms, Mark and Jackie McClendon, Bill and Shirlene McClendon and Jatonne and Terry Tush. She leaves behind seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

A celebration of her life will be held at Coronado Baptist Church on June 3, 2014.

Nancy donated her body to the Genesis Medical Education and Research Institute. The family asks that any memorial gifts be given to the Coronado Baptist Church building fund.
